And do you know what I first understood (before I ever have read the lyrics)
I always understand: One in a motel, down in Birmingham...yeahh , but that didn´t feel like Love...

But I think a load-out is not a synonyme for motel...and in motels other things could happen than at a load-out...

So, truth or fiction?

Someone said that a load-out is where they load the band instruments back on the trucks after the concert.

Wasn´t there some type of racial/protest incident in birmingham alabama years ago? - maybe the thing refered to in "He Was My Brother"?

When I search for load-out on the internet I only find military things...

Drew posted this in response to my question about ´loadout.´ See forum page 12.

John, a load-out is when musical gear is ´loaded out´ of a venue post-performance. In the case of Paul (and presumably in this lyric´s context, Art) there´s a large and able-bodied crew handling the task, and the amount of equipment is pretty great.
